Chapter10—Internal effects

4.To insert effect 2, move the cursor to the INT.EFF2 button and press the [ENTER] key.

In the popup window, SEND will change to “EFF2,” and RTN. will change to “EFF 2L.” This indicates that the input of effect 2 has been patched to the insert send of monitor channel 1, and the L output of effect 2 has been patched to the insert return.

Tip!

Regardless of the channel, the effect will be inserted at a position immediately after the attenuator.

If you move the cursor to the RTN. field and rotate the [DATA/JOG] dial, you can switch between “EFF 2L” and “EFF 2R.”

If an effect is inserted into a stereo channel (return channels 1/2, stereo output channel), the L/R outputs of the effect will be returned to the L/R of that chan- nel.

5.When you have finished making settings in the EFF.INSERT SETTING popup window, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The EFFECT INSERT field of the CH View page will be displayed as “ON [INT.EFF2].” This indicates that effect 2 has been inserted into the corresponding channel (in this case, monitor channel 1).

An effect that has been inserted into a channel will be usable only for that chan- nel until you insert the same effect into a different channel or turn on the OFF button in the EFF.INSERT SETTING popup window.
